This week on NXT, Tommaso CIampa addressed the crowd before the street fight between himself and former tag partner Johnny Gargano at TakeOver. After the injury to Gargano's wife Candice LeRae, what would Ciampa have to say? Plus, Kairi Sane took on Lacey Evans in the rubber match main event after Evans continued to challenge and attack Sane!

Tommaso Ciampa came out to address the crowd and sat on the top turnbuckle. Ciampa told the crowd they gave up on him a long time before he gave up on them as they booed. Ciampa told them to continue booing and chanting because he will talk over them. Ciampa told the crowd that Johnny Gargano interrupted a match last week and made it all about him and it was Gargano that called him out when Candice LeRae ended up getting hurt. Ciampa said Gargano is broken and Gargano comes out, held back by security. Gargano broke free and got held back once again, allowing Ciampa to attack and stomp Gargano down. Ciampa stomped the head and locked in the GargaNo Escape on Gargano before waving at him on the ramp as the credits rolled. Gargano got out the ring and fought through security to send Ciampa into the screen and staging. Gargano locked in Ciampa in the GargaNo Escape while Ciampa was bloodied and tapping to close the show.

In the main event match, Kairi Sane and Lacey Evans faced off in a rubber match. Evans offered a handshake and Sane turned it down. Evans tried to play bully early, but Sane was too quick on the counter and stomped the right hand of Evans. Evans caught a kick from Sane and landed a punch, allowing her to lock in a half-nelson and beat Sane down to get a bronco buster for a nearfall. Sane tried a comeback, but got put down by a slam from Evans. Evans missed a moonsault and Sane landed three spears. Sliding D elbow in the corner and an armbar from Sane saw Evans kick out. Sane got an Alabama Slam and an Insane Elbow to land for a follow to get the win.

Undisputed Era's Roderick Strong faced off with Danny Burch. After feeling each other out, Strong kicked Burch down reentering the ring after sending him to the apron. Strong worked over the back of Burch to set him up for backbreakers and Burch sent him out. A headbutt from Burch put both down and Burch was up first for the comeback with European uppercuts and punches. The rest of Undisputed Era made their way to ringside as Burch looked for a finish and WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne and Oney Lorcan met them for a brawl. Burch locked in a crossface, but NXT North American Champion Adam Cole got to the apron and allowed a distraction for Strong to get a backbreaker for the win. Strong was left with Dunne in the ring and Dunne had Strong ready for his finisher, but Kyle O'Reilly made the save for Strong to land End of Heartache.

In the opener match, TM-61 made quick work of Mike Hughley and Robbie Grand with a lariat to the back of the head for the win. After the match, TM-61 said they were the best team in NXT and they will make everyone kneel before "The Mighty."

To open the show, NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler came out and said last week against Dakota Kai was an example of what reality will hit you when you step into the ring with her. Baszler says someone who doesn't think those laws are for her is Nikki Cross and Cross came out. Baszler backed up against the ropes and told Cross to get it in her twisted mind that she is the champion and asks if Cross is crazy. Baszler said if Cross does what she did last week again, she will put her to sleep and Cross told her to do it. Cross made Baszler flinch and Baszler shoved her, starting a brawl that was won with a Cross crossbody to send Baszler in retreat. Cross will face Baszler at TakeOver.

Other video packages for TakeOver included a look at Lars Sullivan preparing for NXT Champion Aleister Black and a video package for Velveteen Dream vs. Ricochet.

Backstage, EC3 interrupted a Kassius Ohno photoshoot and wondered if they were trying to break their cameras taking pictures of Ohno. Ohno took exception and it will lead to a match next week.
